E-commerce is commonly thought of as a website that takes retail orders online. While this is an example of e-commerce, it does not represent the entire picture.

Ecommerce actually represents any business transaction that takes place online. We offer a full range of Ecommerce solutions that can be custom fit to your needs. The following is a brief description of many items that people ask about setting up an Ecommerce website.

Secure ordering require the use of a secured socket layer (also called a SSL, a secure key, a secure server, or a secure page). This SSL page is commonly identified by a https:// web-site address (instead of a http://) and a lock that shows up in your computer's browser.

The reason for the SSL is to provide a secured, encrypted connection from the ecommerce website to website user (customer). This encrypted connection makes it virtually impossible for a cyber-criminal to crack into a transaction (when it is placed) and pick up the sensitive information.

Note: Email and normal web pages are not a secure way to transfer data. If you are going to collect payments online, you need access to a SSL. We provide SSL service to all of our Ecommerce customers.

Our shopping cart is simple, robut, and flexible. It uses a SQL based database to track and store customers and orders. In addition, it includes sophisticated shipping and tax calculation modules. In addition to handling normal ecommerce applications, our shopping cart is capable of setup and recurring fees, online tithing (variable amount to charge), collection of custom fields, and more. If you can conceive it, we can mold our cart ot make it happen.

The third part of the online shopping experience is the payment methods you will offer your customers. The payment methods we offer include real-time credit card processing, ACH check drafts, links to third party payment sites like Paypal, and "invoice me" forms.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide how your products will be sold most effectively on the web. We strongly recommend real-time payment via credit card. It is the most widely used and has gained the highest level of acceptance.

If you are needing a complete solution for order, backorder, shipping, and open order management, you have come to the right company. Our advanced order management tool can be integrated into your shopping cart to provide a simple and accurate way to track order shipping, back orders, open orders, cancelled orders, return requests, and return confirmations.
